Honestly, there are tactics in this game, but I hate how much is guessing and trial + error with minimum feedback on how the tactics are working. There are ways to tell, but you need to just happen to know what to look for and how to react since there is no guidance on that. Also true is that I built my strategies based on when the assistant would give 4 comments instead of 2 obvious duh remarks. The 4 comment assistant feedback gave a little more insight on the game even though it wasn't often obvious how it tied back to preparation. Right now with a 2 comment system, how are new managers supposed to know what they did wrong? How are we now supposed to know why the statistics came out to what they are? I do understand that the 2 comment system is more intuitive to newcomers, but it leaves out a lot of critical information for more experienced players that had learned how to "read between the lines" of what the assistant was saying. The tactical obscurity leaves new managers in the dark anyways.

Very recent example. I lost my Super League to a +17% team with a 1-2 loss at home and loosing 1-0 away. Did it just come down to individual quality or was there something I could have done to give a little more edge? Obviously he was a much stronger team, but maybe a tip like "we need to be more aggressive on the ball" or "xxx defender was tough to get past" or something like that that tells something more about the game engine and why the statistics came out as they did.
